Yes VW do say this and they also say that if a warning lamp comes on, then drive at 2000 - 2500 revs until lamp extinguishes. It also says that it is normal for this lamp to illuminate.

The VW filters are also designed for the life of the car or 140k miles.

I thought that Volvo had adopted these types of filters instead of the replacement type. But perhaps not.
